The next level of weird

I don't know about all this "tagging" nonesense, but I decided I better participate since I haven't been a very good blogger lately. If you read this, you are also tagged!

So here are six weird things about me:

1. Instead of sleeping 7 or 8 hours a night, I sleep in two 3 1/2 hour shifts, usually about 3:30am-7am and 1:30pm-5pm. I have to get up at 7:00 to go to school and I haven't been able to shake my night owl tendancies so I've been doing this for 4 months now. Interestingly, the quality of my dreams is at an all-time high.

2. I often imagine what the CSI team investigating my death would think of me based on my apartment, my belongings and my acquaintances, should I happen to die mysteriously or be murdered. And, yes, I realize it's presumptuous of me to think I would get a whole team.

3. I love walking alone at night.

4. I eat an absolutely ridiculous amount of Nutella. If I were a superhero, my power would be eating Nutella because it's the only thing I can do much better than other people. I think I probably eat more of it than anyone else in the world.

5. I hate being near animals. I'm interested in animals and I respect them but being in close proximity to them makes me extremely nervous.

6. I practice writing backwards because I have this strong feeling that it will come in useful someday.

Undercover Librarian

Only a week back at library school and already we have a ridiculous assignment. We're to go "undercover" to a library and assess the quality of their reference desk staff. My partner and I get to go to the King's library. For my disguise, I will take off my King's ring and refrain from using any telling King's acronyms because we're only supposed to be community college students who don't know anything about research or paper writing. We also can't reveal what program we're actually in to avoid biased treatment. My partner and I have decided to pose as either paralegals or medical transcriptionists. I don't know how I'll keep all the lies straight. I hope the librarian is a real bitch and tells us we're not good enough to use King's library. That will put an end to our investigation and make our report easy to write.

I must say I was sadly misinformed as to what librarians do. I thought I would be taking classes in shushing people and having lessons in slowly removing my glasses and seductively shaking my hair loose from a deceptively prudish bun. But so far it's been all research and customer service. I am still enjoying the program and I like my classmates but I'm wondering if I might take next year to do something different. Perhaps another year abroad.
